CONFLICT LABOR COMPETITION

"The Rochester Union "a paper which is
fond of criticising the prison policy of the Re-
publicans-evidently is not pleased with the
report which has been presented TO the present
Legislature by the Prison Commission ap.
pointed last year. The Commission reported
in favor of the public account system. But
"Thc Union" in the course Of a two column
article on the prison problem asserts that mo
matter what the systcm-whethcr contract or
public accountable runous competition and
curse of prison labor follow" On this point
of @ruinOus competition the Superintendent
of State Prisons made some tencbant Observa-

that there was no ruinous competition at the
expense of free labor resulting from prison
labor. and he arraycd a number of wcighty
facts in support of his position He summed up

the work of / 400 men who are free laborers,
when even this number is divided into eight
different industricsw

It is not believed by many good judges that this

Numerically opposed to the policy which now
prevails in this State, and which treats mar
rage entirely as a civil contract which can be
entered into about as freely as any other con-

The confagration at st. Augustine is much
to be regretted. 1t was the oldest city IN the
United States, and one of the most interesting,
owing to the history and the buildings of the
old Spanish residents. All tourists who visited
Florida, even although they stayed at Jack
sonville, invariably went to st. Augustine to
see the antiquities. The business part of the
town will of course be rebuilt, but the ancient
landmarks cannot be restored, and their loss
may work serious harm to the place. AS in
most towns of its size. the fire department is ut
terly inadequate. Now that it is too late, the
residents probably realize that little wise
public expenditure is often good thing.
The arrest of George s. Powell looks as if
the case of Jacob Sharp might soon be tried
Powell, 1t is believed, can show. if he will, the
relations between Moloney and the Broadway
bribe-giyers, which are, of course, matters of
vital importance. The locking up of witness
Is q pretty severe measure and generally it does
not make him more laxative, unless, indeed,
there Is reason to suppose that he is party to
the crime. No such supposition exists in Pow
ellis case so far as is learned. The District
Attorney, however, has seemed to know what
he was about in these bribery trials, and no
one, unless it be counsel for the defence, will
cavil at Powelps arrest. We only hope he may
be more valuable witness than Waite.
The Governor has finally shown that the
rumsellers knew what they were talking about
when they declared that d. B. Hill was their
"faithful friend" He certainly is that for he
has vetoed in their interests the High License
bill. which struck damaging blow at their
nsfarious trade in this city and Brooklyn.
